The program can't start because gobject-2-vs12.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

As I mentioned, I run Mathematica 11.0.0 on a Windows 7 machine with Intel i7 Processor. The behavior sticks to the combination of the two functions including the PlotLabel-option and is reproducible. How can I obtain the corresponding library?

$\begingroup$Yes I did, but unfortunately I could not find any Mathematica correlated answers.$\endgroup$

$\begingroup$Or possibly a bad combination with the software of our company. I was able to reproduce the error on our second computer with the same Mathematica version. Unfortunately I can't simply reinstall without the system administrator. Anyway thank you for your support. I let you know if reinstalling will fix the problem.$\endgroup$

$\begingroup$I can reproduce the problem. This happens for me on both 11.0.0 and 11.0.1, Windows 8.1 64 bits. (Note: the file mentioned is however not missing despite the message.)$\endgroup$

Simply overwriting the 32it version with the 64 bit (i.e. copy the larger file over the smaller) does not work.

Interestingly, after some experimentation, Mathematica were able to run the above problematic code correctly. However, in a new session, the same error message and crash happens. I have no idea how the code evaluated correctly, but my understanding is that some other Mathematica function I called were able to find and load the dll-s, so the libraries were already in memory when I evaluated the GraphicsGrid code, which then did not have to find the dll-s itself. Whichever this function was, no further experimentation unveiled.

As Tschibi correctly states, Mathematica "can not find the 64bit libraries within the whole folder of the gobject-2-vs12.dll" and you have to copy this file (and some others) to C:\Windows\System32\. This is supported by the fact that FindLibrary["gobject-2-vs12.dll"] returns False. Adding any of the folders to $LibraryPath does not work either (though at least FindLibrary and LoadLibrary will find the dll). For me, at least the following files had to be copied to the Windows folder:

$\begingroup$@Zachar: I tried your solution, but in my case it did not work. After overwriting I got the same error message as before.$\endgroup$

$\begingroup$Could some of you provide me with you $Path variables? Maybe in my case I have an unfortunate combination of two problems ...$\endgroup$
– TschibiOct 27 '16 at 6:05

$\begingroup$@Tschibi Which version of the file do you have? Both? Are the sizes the same as in my case?$\endgroup$

$\begingroup$@All From all I can see, the problem is due to the fact, that mathematica can not find the 64bit libraries within the whole folder of the gobject-2-vs12.dll. After I copied this Files to C:\Windows\System32\ the problem disappeared. I aware, that this kind of solution is somehow ugly, but it is showing us the reason of the problem.$\endgroup$
